Chapter 320: Return to Yuanzhu City
Yang Ming looked up and saw a stall in front of him holding a "Catching Magikarp" activity. As long as tourists caught a certain number of Magikarp with a fishing net within a limited time, they could exchange them for corresponding prizes. Among them, a golden Magikarp was swimming leisurely in the water, attracting the attention of the people around.
"Whoever can catch the golden carp will get a special prize for this event." The stall owner shouted enthusiastically.
"How dare this stall owner parade around with a golden carp king? Isn't he afraid of being robbed?" Yang Ming was a little surprised.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard a shrill noise coming from far away. Several motorcycles were running rampant on the street, dispersing the crowd of onlookers. Several burly men with tattoos got off the motorcycles and came to the stall.
"Stadium owner, how much is this golden Magikarp?"
"My dear customer, this Magikarp is not for sale," the stall owner said with a smile, "but if you participate in our store's activities and catch Jinse's Magikarp, you can exchange it for..."
Before he could finish his words, the leading man slapped him to the ground.
"If you dare not sell it to me, grab it for me!"
The younger brothers rushed forward and were about to rob the stall. The stall owner rushed forward to stop them but was kicked away.
"You can't do this!"
Yang Ming noticed that although the stall owner acted very anxious, he actually did not try his best to stop it. Instead, he lay on the ground crying after being kicked away.
Could it be that this golden Magikarp is not that important to him?
At this moment, a gentleman with fiery red hair could no longer bear it. He was filled with righteous indignation and scolded the thugs in a non-local accent: "You guys are really going too far. This is Yuanzhu City. How will tourists from other regions view you if you are so ugly?"
The leading thug immediately had a fierce look in his eyes: "Where did you come from, you country bumpkin? How dare you meddle in my business? I think you are tired of living!"
Several big men rushed up and started beating and kicking the gentleman, leaving him with a black eye and a swollen face.
Fenglu couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she stepped forward to stop them and said, "You guys are going too far! Since you are trainers, you should have a fair Pokémon competition to decide the winner!"
"Where did this girl come from? She's quite fierce," the gangster looked Feng Lu up and down, "But I'm tired of playing with ordinary women, so it's a good time to change my taste."
Yang Ming watched coldly. Even if this bunch of rubbish rushed forward, they were no match for Feng Lu. In comparison, he was more concerned about the golden carp king. He secretly winked at Tokugawa, who understood and quietly approached the stall.
However, at this time, several strong men had already come over and supported his body.
"This pretty boy is your boyfriend, right? If you don't want him to get hurt, just follow us. You don't want your boyfriend to get hurt, do you?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't want to give in. I don't care about gender. I have no problem letting this pretty boy replace you. Hahahahaha."
Damn, they are a bunch of bisexuals! Yang Ming was furious and wanted to personally beat these wretched and perverted hot dog eaters to death.
At this moment, the people maintaining order finally arrived. With a few flashes of whips, several hooligans were beaten and rolled on the ground. Both of their arms were broken by the whips, and they would probably never be able to do bad things again.
"Sorry, I'm late." A young investigator in the Alliance uniform walked out of the crowd, followed by a giant vine.
"Where did these thieves come from? How dare they snatch Pokémon in broad daylight? Come on, capture them all!"
As the gangsters were led away, the young investigators began to help the injured people.
"Are you guys okay? Hey, bro?!"
The young prosecutor was Xinghe. It was not until now that he recognized Yang Ming and greeted him immediately.
Yang Ming responded casually, "I'm fine, let's go see that gentleman."
The red-haired gentleman dusted himself off and wiped the blood off his body, indicating that he was fine.
"I came to the city originally to watch the Silver Conference with my own eyes, and to experience the local customs and culture. Alas, I didn't expect to encounter something like this." The gentleman sighed.
"I'm sorry, it's our fault." Xinghe looked guilty and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a scream from afar.
"Sorry, I have to leave first," Xinghe's face changed slightly, and he turned to Yang Ming and said, "Brother, see you later."
After saying that, he led his men and ran away.
"I didn't expect the security situation in Yuanzhu City to be so chaotic recently. It wasn't like this the last time I came here." Yang Ming was secretly surprised. He always felt that something was wrong.
"By the way, my name is Louis. I'm a businessman living in the Carlos area. Thank you for your righteous words just now." The red-haired gentleman who called himself Louis thanked Feng Lu.
"Hehe, actually it was my friend who asked me to do this," Feng Lu pointed at Yang Ming, "If you want to thank someone, then thank him."
After saying that, she did not forget to wink at Yang Ming.
I never said such a thing, don't take credit for me, Yang Ming complained in his heart.
Before he could deny it, Louis stepped forward, grasped his hand, and said gratefully, "Thanks to you for speaking up for me just now. By the way, I think we get along really well. Why don't we call each other brothers from now on?"
Yang Ming felt speechless. So far, the first two "big brothers" who had sworn brotherhood with him had been killed by him. The grass on one of their grave was already two meters high. The other one had just died, and all his property belonged to him. Why would anyone still rush to be his "big brother"?
Sometimes Yang Ming feels that he has become a "big brother killer" and all the "big brothers" who have sworn brotherhood with him will eventually die in his hands.
"Well, I don't think this is a good idea..." Yang Ming wanted to refuse.
"What's wrong with that? With such a kind and virtuous sister-in-law, I think your character is absolutely reliable." Louis smiled.
When Feng Lu heard the other party call her "sister-in-law", a smile appeared on her face. She grabbed Yang Ming's arm and urged him, "I think this elder brother is also a good person. Just agree to him."
"This..." Yang Ming couldn't convince the two of them, and didn't know how to refute the term "sister-in-law", so he had to reluctantly agree.
"Okay, there's a nice restaurant up ahead, let me treat you, big brother." Louis said with a generous smile.
In a remote path, all the Alliance investigators who had escorted the gangsters fainted on the ground. A man with his face covered by a turban stood in front of the gangsters and undid their shackles.
"Sir, we have investigated. The appearance of those Magikarp is very different from the normal Magikarp. They obviously have signs of transformation."
The leading gangster said respectfully, with a very humble attitude.
The man responded with a sound.
"You did a great job this time, so I'm going to take you away now."
"Thank you, sir!" The gangster's eyes lit up and he thanked him repeatedly.
However, in just a blink of an eye, the gangsters' heads exploded like watermelons, and blood dyed the ground red.
"These temporary hired men are almost useless now. It's time for us to take action next."
The man turned and walked away. In the sunlight, the Plasma Team badge on his chest was shining brightly.
